Lucky you, basically the current state is: zopectl doesn't work on
Windows! But I found out that it's not that hard to enhance it in a way
so it does work on Windows... all you need to do is to look into the
internals of zopectl and zdaemon combined with how configuration files
are parsed at Zope startup... and add some platform specific conditional
code.

Now after a refreshing my memory it fails on socket handling in zdctl.py
in zdaemon on the line (sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX,
socket.SOCK_STREAM)) where socket.AF_UNIX is not defined on Windows.
Basically the way Zope is started in non-foreground mode on Unix is
different from Windows, where you need to install a service which you
can start/stop/restart...

Wouldn't it be enough to adjust the PYTHONPATH to look into the
workingenv directory first? I thought that's the only thing that's
really necessary to activate a workingenv?
